Since committing to Nebraska in early December, tight end Ben Cotton has only been back to Lincoln once to see his father, new Husker offensive line coach Barney Cotton.

This weekend, the 6-foot-6, 217-pounder will head to his future college home for an official visit along with several other recruits who are also scheduled to be in town. Cotton, the Ames, Iowa prospect, is excited to get there and also to begin his career with Nebraska.
